00:00So
00:30Everyone stay alert. You should be here soon.
00:33Everything hurts.
00:35Just stop complaining.
00:37Marky, you chose that position.
00:38No, I didn't. I most certainly did not.
00:40You put me up here.
00:41Let's keep the chatter off the line, please.
00:44Yes, sir. Sorry.
00:49Maybe next time I should be the one in the suite.
00:52Yeah, if we need somebody much older.
00:55You know, somebody more seasoned.
01:00I've got a visual in the truck.
01:06Is this the guy?
01:09Is that the right truck?
01:11Yeah.
01:13Tim.
01:14This is her guy.
01:27Hey, why don't you give him a smile and a wave?
01:29That's good.
01:39Come on, buddy.
01:41Banks, watch his hands.
01:46He's getting really close to her.
01:48Travis, do you want me to try to move to a new position?
01:50Do not move until I give the call.
01:54Somebody say something.
01:56Banks, can you hear me?
01:58Guys, you hearing me?
02:00Hey there.
02:01It's nice to finally meet you.
02:10He's starting to talk.
02:11You're not worried about her?
02:12No, she knows the drill.
02:13I was afraid that you wouldn't show.
02:22Do you want to come get in my truck?
02:23I've got those cheese fries that you said you liked.
02:24That was the word.
02:25Go.
02:26Move, move, move, move, move.
02:27Go.
02:28Move, move.
02:29Hold.
02:30Hold right there.
02:32Come on.
02:33I'm sorry.
02:34Yeah.
02:35I'm sorry.
02:36Don't you see me.
02:37She's in there.
02:38She's in there.
02:39I'm sorry.
02:40I'm sorry.
02:41I was afraid that you wouldn't show.
02:42Do you wanna come get in my truck?
02:45Move, move, move, move, move.
02:51Halt. Halt, are you there?
02:57Are we a go, Travis? Are we a go?
02:59Guys, move!
03:01You're just, you're doing static?
03:03Mm-hmm.
03:04Banks, do you copy?
03:08Uh, are you ready to get in the truck like, uh, like we talked about?
03:12Move, guys! Banks!
03:15Should we go?
03:16Dead coming.
03:35On the ground! On the ground! On your knees!
03:38Cross your ankles!
03:44Extend your arms!
03:48Palms toward me!
03:54Palms toward me!
03:55You okay?
03:56It's okay. It's over.
03:59That's the hard part. Read him his rights.
04:01You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say.
04:02You want some water, Mr. Davis?
04:03Yes, sir.
04:04I'm sorry.
04:05I'm sorry.
04:06I'm sorry.
04:07I'm sorry.
04:08It's okay. It's over.
04:09It's okay. It's over.
04:11That's the hard part. Read him his rights.
04:12You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say.
04:14You want some water, Mr. Davis?
04:30This is Detective Gary Travis interviewing Malcolm Davis.
04:33Time is 4.17 on March 26th.
04:36Mr. Davis has declined to have an attorney present during the...
04:39Are you the person I need to speak to about getting out of here?
04:42No, the judge determines bail.
04:43You see, there's, um, there's been a misunderstanding, so if we could, you know, clear this up now, I'd certainly appreciate it.
04:50You are aware of the charges against you, Mr. Davis?
04:56It's not what you think.
05:01Well, I think that I recognize solicitation of a minor when I see it.
05:06Please, please.
05:07You must believe me when I tell you I was there under the purest of intentions.
05:12You thought you were buying Girl Scout cookies?
05:15Well, no.
05:16Because the ad that you responded to made it very clear what services were being offered.
05:24I was there to rescue her.
05:27Rescue her?
05:28That's right.
05:29Like a puppy from the pound?
05:31You need a pet?
05:33Huh?
05:34Then what?
05:35What?
05:44Ah.
05:48Ahem.
05:52Ahem.
05:56Ahem.
05:57Hi. You are really cute. I'm glad you came. Come on in.
06:16So, what kind of date were you looking for? I mean, it's whatever you're into, right?
06:38Or you could just sit and watch. That's fine too, I guess.
06:46Stop. Stop.
06:54What's your name?
06:58Oh. Right. I'm Stacy. It's nice to meet you.
07:07What's your real name?
07:12Well, why does that matter?
07:14It matters to me.
07:17Why are you a cop?
07:19I just want to know your real name.
07:24Well, can we just get on with the date?
07:32This isn't a date.
07:37Then what are you here for?
07:41I don't know the circumstances that brought you here, but I do know that you are a beautiful, strong woman. And you are loved.
08:08You don't deserve all of this.
08:13What are you doing?
08:17If you could walk away from all of this right now, would you do it?
08:23Yeah, and where would I go?
08:27Come with me. No strings attached. Okay? I can provide everything you need. Food, shelter, medical care. You can have your life back.
08:38They... They... They won't let me leave.
08:53Talking about the guy outside in the car?
08:57I already gave him the first half. Here's the second. Give that to him. And then, um, I'll be waiting at the soda machine.
09:16Why would you do this for me?
09:21Because you're worth it.
09:26Claire...
09:27I'm sorry?
09:31My name is Claire.
09:44You have a beautiful name. Claire.
09:50What a lovely story, Mr. Davis.
10:05Truly, I tell you, whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
10:10So God made you do this? God make you do this, too? Text exchange between you and a girl who you thought was 15 years old.
10:19Twelve.
10:20Excuse me?
10:21I thought she said she was twelve, but maybe that was the other one.
10:28You sure you don't want an attorney?
10:34What else do you have to tell me?
10:37What'd you pay for that cup of coffee?
10:43Why?
10:46Because whatever you paid for that cup of coffee is the same price you would pay for a woman in Mozambique.
10:53A girl in India.
10:56Four weeks paycheck will get you a woman in the Middle East.
10:59You travel a lot, Mr. Davis?
11:01You're missing my point.
11:02Am I?
11:03What do you think's the going rate from one of these girls advertised online?
11:08A hundred bucks, maybe two?
11:10I don't know. You tell me.
11:12Now multiply that by 20 times a day and it's all profit.
11:22It's not like drugs.
11:23I mean, they can just keep selling them over and over and over and over.
11:28Okay, get rid of that.
11:36These are beautiful children of God.
11:42They're being bought and sold like trash at a flea market.
11:45So I pay whatever I must.
11:50And I set them free.
11:58So, your story is you troll the internet.
12:03You find these girls, you pick them up, and then what?
12:05You take them back to their home?
12:10They're usually runaways.
12:12Don't really have a home to return to, so...
12:16I, um...
12:19Take them back with me.
12:22Until we can get suitable accommodations for them.
12:28How many girls have you found suitable accommodations for?
12:31Um...
12:3520 or 30, maybe.
12:39I want you to hear something.
12:40These are your words.
12:43You're pretty.
12:45How old are you?
12:47She says, 15.
12:49You say, wow, you look older than that.
12:52She says, LOL.
12:55How old are you?
12:57You say, way older than 15.
13:00She says, cool.
13:02I like older guys.
13:04And you say, great.
13:06You're gonna really love me then.
13:09Sounds to me like that's someone looking for more than suitable accommodations.
13:15What do you think your wife's gonna say when she reads this?
13:20She's the one that wrote it.
13:24She's the one that wrote it.
13:54Becky?
14:09Katie?
14:24Hello, ma'am, ma'am, oh my god, it's okay, it's okay, I'm a police officer, this is my house.
14:54Dad, what are you doing?
15:01What do you mean, what am I doing?
15:03Brooke, are you okay?
15:04I don't even know who this is.
15:05Gary!
15:06You know what?
15:07Everyone calm down.
15:08No, no, no, you calm down.
15:10I'm calm.
15:11What did you do?
15:12What do you mean, what did I do?
15:15I didn't do anything, I'm just standing here.
15:17Obviously you did.
15:19You know, how is this my fault?
15:23You knew about this?
15:34I forgot to call.
15:36I thought you'd be okay with it.
15:38Okay with what?
15:39I'm so sorry.
15:41Does someone want to tell me what's going on?
15:43Well it's nothing, really.
15:45To put it nicely, her boyfriend Troy lost his mind.
15:50So I told her she could stay.
15:53Has he physically harmed you?
15:56You want to file a police report?
16:00Yeah she does.
16:01This isn't the first time that-
16:03I got it.
16:04Ma'am.
16:05I mean, he gets like this sometimes but it's not who he is.
16:12I'm sure he's fine now.
16:14I can just go.
16:15Brooke, seriously?
16:16I don't want you to be hurt.
16:19I mean, he's probably back to normal.
16:22We go through this every few months and I overreacted.
16:27Gary, let's let her spend the night.
16:33I just think a woman's shelter would be more appropriate.
16:38What?
16:39Hold on.
16:41Brooke has always been there for me.
16:43We're not just going to ship her off to some shelter.
16:45What about the church?
16:46Don't they have a program?
16:48Maybe.
16:50I'll give them a call tomorrow.
16:52So there's no reason she can't spend the night?
16:56No, there's not.
16:58She can stay the night.
16:59And we'll talk about it in the morning.
17:02If you want to file that report, just let me know.
17:06It's going to be okay.
17:13That sting from yesterday?
17:18Wife just showed up.
17:20She filed divorce papers already?
17:22Not exactly.
17:24Well, what does she want?
17:27I want this man's resignation.
17:29Ma'am, you need to calm down.
17:30My husband is a good Christian man, not some criminal.
17:33You need to let him go.
17:34Ms. Davis, your husband solicited a minor online,
17:37then showed up to meet her.
17:38Well, actually, he was trying to meet with two girls,
17:40but thanks to your little mix-up,
17:42he didn't get to the other one.
17:43You knew about this?
17:44Well, yeah.
17:45That makes you an accomplice.
17:46Well, you know, if helping these poor girls,
17:49you should see them.
17:50You should see how bad they are.
17:51If that's a crime, guilty!
17:54So your husband says you've done this before?
17:57Twenty-seven times and counting.
17:59I don't buy it.
18:00Pimp's not just going to let their girls go
18:02without any repercussions.
18:04Not always.
18:05Sometimes we have to negotiate a price for their release.
18:08How much have you spent on all this?
18:10Oh, money, money, money.
18:11Is that all you guys care about?
18:13A little over $200,000.
18:15That is a lot of cash to throw around.
18:18The Lord has blessed us, so yes, we have the cash.
18:21But I don't consider helping these poor girls
18:23throwing it around.
18:25So now, if you guys are done,
18:27I would like to speak with my husband.
18:38It's just not right.
18:41It's okay.
18:42I'm okay.
18:45The Lord has his hand in this.
18:47So, now that you're together,
18:49this venture of yours,
18:52can you corroborate your story?
18:54What do you need?
18:56$200,000 in receipts would be a good start.
18:59Unfortunately, cash is king in this world.
19:03Yeah, of course it is.
19:04You said you rescued 27 girls today, correct?
19:07Correct.
19:08Well, I need to talk to them.
19:10The thing is, they don't exactly trust the police.
19:13Of course not.
19:14They're afraid they might have to testify
19:16against their former captors.
19:18I don't need to talk to all of them.
19:20Can you find me ten?
19:22Five?
19:24How about one?
19:30I can find you one.
19:43So, what do you think?
19:45Some proof would be nice.
19:47Here's what I don't understand.
19:50So, your millionaire husband just got busted
19:54shopping in the junior section.
19:56I'm thinking the first call you make
19:59is to your divorce lawyer.
20:01You take the retirement accounts
20:03for the next 20 years quite comfortably.
20:06But not this one.
20:08This one's standing by her, man.
20:10Maybe they're in it together.
20:12Money had to come from somewhere.
20:15I can check their financial records.
20:17How much does a pimp make per day
20:20on one of these girls?
20:23Multiply that by 27.
20:25That's some nice residual income.
20:29You just have to dig.
20:36Okay, okay.
20:37No, no, no.
20:38This is, that's not how it's gonna go down, okay?
20:40I'm gonna explain how it's gonna go down.
20:41If I'm gonna put you back,
20:43there are gonna be some very distinctions.
20:45And you understand me?
20:47Without-
20:48Okay, I am not gonna have this conversation.
20:50You will not let me speak!
20:52I am-
20:54I am-
20:55Don't even-
20:56Back to the huddle.
20:58Second down nine from their own 35, okay?
21:01I'm heading to bed.
21:04Can you put the recycling out at halftime?
21:06Sure.
21:07Thanks.
21:08I see Brooke is still here.
21:11And it is, he's through!
21:14I called the church.
21:16Their only recommendation is a woman's shelter downtown.
21:19I know it will.
21:21I also put the word out on social media,
21:24so we'll see what comes through.
21:29I think the woman's shelter is a good option.
21:32Don't you?
21:34How many times a week do you guys get called down there?
21:39That's a good point.
21:43I've been praying about this.
21:45So I think we'll find something.
21:49Goodnight.
21:53Goodnight.
21:54Goodnight.
22:24Anything?
22:41Apart from the occasional large withdrawal from their savings account, not really.
22:45No large cash deposits?
22:47Nope.
22:48No big ticket items, luxury cars, vacations, gun shows?
22:53Nope.
22:54Just a lot of cheap breakfasts and trips to the dollar store.
22:57So where does the money come from?
23:00Well, they have several different investment accounts that they draw from.
23:03But their net worth was built up over time, so...
23:10Yeah.
23:13Whoa, whoa, whoa.
23:14Hold on.
23:15Is the door locked?
23:18Tell her not to go outside.
23:19I don't care what he says.
23:20I'll be right home.
23:22Just call 1017 on my house.
23:24Domestic violence?
23:25Just do it.
23:26I'll be right back.
23:30Yes, hi.
23:31I'm trying to locate a young girl that was at your facility.
23:33It was about six weeks ago.
23:34She was around 17 years old.
23:36Her name was Fiona.
23:38She was 22 years old.
23:41Her name was Rachel.
23:43Yes, that's right, the 12-year-old.
23:44Do you have the contact information for the foster family?
23:48Do you have a cell phone number for her?
23:51Oh.
23:53I remember meeting you.
23:54I remember bringing her to you, and I remember your home, and I know I left you my contact information.
24:01I don't understand why you think you don't know who I am.
24:04Hello?
24:10I'm sorry to bother you.
24:13Hey, please calm down.
24:14No, you need to leave.
24:15You are a liar and a cheat.
24:16Can we talk about this at home?
24:17Okay?
24:18I saw the text.
24:19I saw the pictures.
24:20You little animal.
24:21You need to leave.
24:22We can talk about it at home.
24:23Stop it.
24:24Stop.
24:25You're hurting me.
24:26Stop.
24:27You're hurting me.
24:28Stop.
24:29You're hurting me.
24:56Say something.
24:57This happens all the time, all right?
24:59I said take your hands off her.
25:03Now!
25:08Stop.
25:10Are you okay?
25:11Yeah.
25:26I'm sorry.
25:43I'm so sorry.
25:44It's okay.
25:45Sandra, it's okay.
25:56That's the hard part.
25:59Read him his rights.
26:04You might, uh, tighten that cuff.
26:06Oh, be careful.
26:36Claire.
26:44Who are you?
26:47I'm Brenda Davis.
26:51Look, if you're with CPS, I still have another week
26:53till I can move in the new place, okay?
26:55No.
26:56No.
26:57No, I'm not.
27:00Then what do you want?
27:03Do you remember my husband, Malcolm?
27:06Look, I don't do that anymore, okay?
27:13Okay, here.
27:15Would you just look at his picture, please?
27:27Yeah.
27:28How could I forget?
27:37Oh.
27:43He was arrested for trying to save someone else.
27:50Didn't you tell them the truth?
27:52They want to talk to one of the girls that he rescued.
28:03Oh.
28:12Look, if anybody found out what I did back then,
28:16they would take her from me.
28:21No one's going to blame me for your parents.
28:23I can't risk that.
28:26I'm clean.
28:27I'm in a good place.
28:31No, I-I just, I can't do that.
28:32I'm sorry.
28:33I'm sorry.
28:42Maybe you know one of the other girls that he helped.
28:45I just need to find one.
28:46I'm sorry.
28:47I-I just can't.
28:56Okay, well, I'm going to leave that list with you.
29:01And you think about it.
29:03Okay.
29:04I-I think about it.
29:06Okay.
29:34I-I've been on hold for 20 minutes.
29:48If they don't have a place for her to stay, she can't stay with me.
29:50I mean, I have two women at my house already.
29:52Three is just too much.
29:54Yes.
29:56Yes, I can hold.
29:59Can she stay with you?
30:01I mean, yeah, she can.
30:02Yeah.
30:04It's great.
30:06Problem solved.
30:07But my brother needs to move out first.
30:13Travis, I need you out here.
30:15Get back on the phone.
30:16Shouldn't have a place to stay.
30:17Now!
30:18Okay.
30:20Sure.
30:25Detective?
30:26I believe we have what you've been asking for.
30:29What have I been asking for?
30:31You said you wanted proof.
30:33Her?
30:36Ma'am, are you prepared to make a statement?
30:41They're all prepared to make statements.
30:43They?
30:44Okay?
30:45Mm-hmm.
30:47Got it.
30:49Okay.
30:51Okay.
30:54Mm-hmm.
31:59Excuse me, Mr. Davis.
32:03I misjudged you.
32:08Hey, can I ask you a favor?
32:13I'm not going to stop if that's what you're asking.
32:15No, of course not.
32:17Can you help one more?
32:20Of course.
